She's NOT one of us!!

Wow. what a fucking movie. if you ever felt like you wanted to see what this was about, you should. Not one bit of special effects, nor are there any violent scenes; just the disturbing ones of life itself and how imperfect it truly is.
A story of a little man who falls for a trapeze artist from the circus he is a part of; and instead of send him back to his loving wife, the bitch decides to let him think she is interested in him. Causing a downward spiral for the man, she continues to lead him on until they decide to get married; the main benefit being not love, but money he has... and poison will play a big part. Before too long, Cleopatra shows how she truly feels at diner while being honored by fellow circus members, lashing out and calling them freaks. That brings her scheme with Hercules to a grinding halt and following is one of the most frightening scenes in cinematic history. No help on this side, no help on that side; only freaks closing in (holding weapons.. with or without arms!). i liked the way they flashed back, and the whole movie itself was a tale leading up to what happened to the poor freak of nature. too bad for this woman, no one feels pity.

Frieda: I was saying, tonight you must not smoke such a big cigar. Your voice was very bad at tonight's show.
Hans: Please, Frieda, don't tell me what I do. When I want a cigar, I smoke a cigar. I want no orders from a woman.
